Your applications will be compiled by default against glibc with NPTL, the glibc compiled against linuxthreads is only used in case an application doesn't work with NPTL.  The only reason to use the "nptlonly" useflag is to save you compile time and hard disk space if you know all the applications you plan on running are NPTL compatable.
